It was a sh*t joke. Ignore me

Just a shock that's all. I hadn't yet given up hope

WHAT!

Who could possibly be in a better position to decide whether he deserves another season than INEOS? Think about it

It's really a damning indictment on so many posters on here that this perfectly logical and obvious statement is beyond their comprehension.

Yeah Cantona was special. I never thought too much of him at Leeds but it was a perfect marriage at United. We gave him the platform he wanted and needed, and he gave the team an arrogance that lifted everyone.

I love to get people to watch Nigel Worthington on the first Bruce goal. Standing casually, hand on hip, while Bruce's looping header sails past him into the net. It's hilarious.

I didn't sleep a wink the night before that game. I can't even remember how I got there from London, but I recall with great clarity how devastated I was being 1-0 down late on and faced with missing the title again. Honestly I don't think anything has ever topped how I felt when we won that game.

Oh I agree that we were building, but we were essentially still a cup team. Losing the league to Leeds was heartbreaking for me at that age, and my first ever game was the 2-1 win against Wednesday (the two late Bruce headers) which spurned us on to win the following season, so that first title...

I often wondered at what point the cafe would finally disappear up it's own arse

I wouldn't say it was shite but it wasn't a patch on the book. I thought the Renton/Begbie story was well handled but I would have loved them to have stuck more closely to the plot of the book. A largely forgettable follow up to a classic but still one I'll rewatch every now and then because I...

It's wonderful. Always been by far my favourite thing about this club

There's probably a reason for that, unless we're suggesting that it's a personal dislike of the player from Ten Hag. That may even be the case, who knows, but I don't think anybody could claim that its because he doesn't trust youth
